Re: Places to Post Articles?
Can anyone explain to me what value a link from an article directory of PR6 could send to the 10,000s of websites with backlinks from the article directory.
I'll go with best guestimate work
We start with lets say 50,000 articles from one PR6 site.
so 6 divided by 50,000
0.00012 is the likley value.
Why with 10,000 links I might get 1/10 of PR1 Wheeeee!!
Now if we stretch it a bit further and realize the same article is posted on 50 other sites we then have 49 pages of duplicate content having zero value sending out no PageRank what so ever.
Then we should look at the advice we give business owners....lets use the Original Poster as a prime example.
Why are we having him waste his time with article marketing, knowing the numbers above??
Are we thinking before posting??? or do we tell people what we think they want to hear??
For example very few people looking to buy a gift are going to sit down at the computer and say to themselves....
" I need a gift for my best friend.....let me visit an article directory and see if I can find an article or 100 to read so I can figure out what kind of gift to buy my best friend"
Therefore we know the target market is not to be found on these article marketing sites, so WHY are we advising the website owner to undertake such???
Before posting responses we should all stop and think a bit about things as they relate to the individual posting and with a nod that we may have little information to go with at times.
